  M aggie turned four years old on October 29th !!  We celebrated over several days with some small gifts and lots of cake. The only thing she asked for was a new watch.   S ince she's been into Cowboys lately ( YEE HAW ), we gave her a cute cowboy watch with horses on it.   M aggie loves watches !!! And she was so smitten with this one. Until , a couple of days later she asked for another watch - a spider man watch ! How funny.  She changes her mind about things about as much as I do !  

  I t seemed that we were never home this fall. Maggie started Ballet and she loves it !  She has the sweetest teacher that she absolutely adores and looks up to.  Our little girl can do a tondo and a releve   ( for all you ballet people).   Maggie also had the first of two surgeries for her BAHA placement ( hearing aid). The surgeon drilled a 4 mm hole in her skull and   placed a "screw". We go back in five months for Maggie's second surgery that will enable her BAHA hearing aid to snap onto her skull. She did great and her doctor said that her skull was nice and thick - yippee !!   W ill played an awesome season as wide receiver for the Falcons.  He had practice two times a week and played a game one time a week, so football kept us very busy !!  He also read Tim Tebows biography ( which is incredibly good) and was challenged in many ways.   W alker played soccer for his school and did a lot of traveling with his team for out of town games. He practiced two times a week
